Tragic Loss: Angus Young, 69 years passes away at 61 years after battling with…
AC/DC are back in the spotlight as they embark on their Power Up European tour.
On Friday night, the iconic Australian rockers took the stage for their sold out gig at VELTINS-Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.
But it was the band’s lead guitarist Angus Young who caught the attention of fans as he appeared very different to his heyday.
The 69-year-old, who is based in Sydney, is well known for his schtick of dressing up as a schoolboy on stage.
Angus did not disappoint, donning the green velvet cap and uniform that are his trademark as he shredded his guitar with ease while the band powered through a dynamic set of their biggest hits and new tracks.
However, with his shock of long, white hair, the musician looked quite changed since his early days as a fresh-faced rock star back in the 1970s and 1980s.
Despite not quite cutting the same schoolboy figure of yesteryear, the musician put on a blistering performance as the band embark on their comeback.
The rock legends have taken their latest album, Power Up, on the road, and are slated to perform 21 dates in 10 different countries on their first European tour in eight years.
The tour, which spans the European summer, will see them touch down in England for two nights at Wembley Stadium.
Angus Young joins Brian Johnson, Stevie Young and Matt Laug, who is filling in on drums for Phil Rudd, as well as Chris Chaney, on bass in place of Cliff Williams.
Four years on from releasing their 17th studio album, Power Up, the rockers will also be stopping off in Ireland and Belgium.
AC/DC’s official X account revealed: ‘We are thrilled to finally announce the “POWER UP” European Tour. We can’t wait to see you out there.’
AC/DC will be coming to London for July 3 and July 7, 2024, with Wembley Stadium the only UK venue on their tour.
The shows began on May 17 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany – the country which will host the rock stars for nine of the 21 dates on the Power Up European tour.
